Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Guest
Fu Zheng looked at the persistence and seriousness between Old Lady Fu's eyebrows, and was a little stunned, he seemed to have seen it a long time ago, but now the candidate has been replaced by him as an abandoned girl, which makes him unable to understand. He has a different insistence from his father, who follows the ancestral teachings passed down by the Fu family a hundred years ago, and what he wants is an opportunity, an opportunity to make the Fu family famous and even famous in history.
He couldn't help but forget what he was still discussing, and asked directly, "What arrangements do you want to make for her?" What's more, she didn't stay for two years. ”
Old Lady Fu didn't answer, but said, "You say yes or no." ”
Fu Zheng thought about it, in the past two years, the old and the young have not been able to find out anything, but the important thing in front of him is to settle the family affairs of the two families with the Anguo Mansion first, so he nodded and said: "Since my father wants to teach the third girl, her mother and I will not say anything, and we can earn a good reputation for our Fu family in the Han family in the future." ”
Having said that, what Fu Zheng really thought was that if Fu Qianqing's temperament was too bookish, he would not be able to hold Han Yun's kid's heart, so it would be in line with his heart.
Old Lady Fu was not immediately satisfied when he got the promise, but said again: "You remember, what I said is that others are not allowed to interfere except me." Then he turned around and went back to his study.
The old lady's reaffirmation did not let Fu Zheng remember it in his heart, but he didn't know that it was today's negligence that made him haunt him in the future.
At the beginning of the day, the sound of guests' carriages and horses sounded outside the door of the Bachelor's Mansion. It's not the mighty that everyone thinks, and it's not the gorgeous frame that comes out of the Guogong Mansion.
When Mrs. Fu personally greeted the main gate, all she saw was one or two ordinary decorated carriages, and An Wenbo, the legendary eldest grandson of the Duke of Anguo and the future heir, was just dressed as an ordinary child of the scholar clan, with a red horse beside him.
At this moment, An Wenbo happened to hand over the reins to the little guy on the side, and came to the car in front of him to help Mrs. An, who was about to get out of the car.
Mrs. Fu frowned at the first glance, and then returned to normal and came forward to greet the guests. She is still dressed dignified today, although she is over forty years old, the innate temperament of a century-old family girl is becoming more and more mellow, so that people dare not underestimate it.
"I've come from afar, hard work, madam." The attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made Mrs. An in front of her a little surprised.
An Guogong's Mansion has been the home of the lords of the ancestors for several generations, and the current An Guogong is still the An Ruiyuan An Lao Guogong who was an official in the same court as Mrs. Fu. Today's visit is the son of Anguo Gongzi Zeng's several children with the long house.
There is not much difference in age between this Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Fu, but the high Chaoyun near incense bun makes her look a lot nobler, with gentle eyebrows and white faces, people who see it for the first time will unconsciously have a good impression.
She first showed a slight smile and said softly: "Madame came to greet me personally, but it seems that I am rude." This is very polite, looking at the capital, there are few houses that can make the An family bow their heads, not to mention the Fu family, who is a weak scholar.
Mrs. Fu recognized the lady in front of her, but she had not dealt with her head-on. She also replied kindly: "I should have come to the door in person, this should have been." As he spoke, he took the initiative to lead Mrs. An and the juniors of the An family who followed behind.
"Our old lady heard that you were coming and waited early in the morning, and I heard that I was very happy to bring two young ladies to the old man's house, and the house was not so lively."
"I heard that the old lady had a handkerchief with the old lady of our family when she was young, but she couldn't get along with her when she was old, and the old man took this opportunity to ask me to take her to see the old lady."
Mrs. Fu had heard about this, but she didn't know what the attitude of the Anguo Mansion was now, so she didn't take the initiative to talk about it, but only pretended to hear about it for the first time: "There is such a thing, my mother didn't mention the past to me, and I didn't ask, I only found out today, no wonder the old man is very happy today." ”
The two were chatting here, and Fu Yun had already invited Mr. An directly to the study in the outer courtyard.
The mansion of the Fu family is not as wide as the Guogong Mansion, but it is better than the simple atmosphere of a literati atmosphere, and Mrs. An Zeng secretly paid attention to it and had a good impression of the Fu family.
At this time, Fu Xiangqing also rushed over from halfway to greet Mrs. An and the two young ladies.
She was a little embarrassed and said, "I've seen Mrs. Shizi, the eldest lady and the second miss, and it's too late for Xiang Qing." "That being said, no one will blame her, after all, Mrs. Fu has gone to greet her in person.
Seeing that she was not panicked, Mrs. An knew that this girl was a good one, and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest girl is the same age as the eldest girl in my family, and today she looks much more stable than our sister Xin'er." ”
An Xin on the side showed a delicate little face, looking at the person in front of her with clear eyes, and the second lady An Hui raised her eyes shyly and quickly lowered her head.
Fu Xiangqing let An Xin look around, then took the initiative to stand in a row with the two of them, and retreated half a step behind Mrs. Fu and Mrs. An. The group went to Fuzhi Hall like this.
Mrs. Fu had already received a letter and ordered the big girl to guard the door to greet her, and she had been paying attention to the curtain cage. Waiting for Fu Tianqing and Fu Xinqing beside him.
Finally, when she heard the sound of the girl opening the curtain, Mrs. Fu stood up and looked at the group of people walking inside, and she also looked out with a smile.
Mrs. An also saw the old lady Fu in the hall, although it was the first time she saw her, she also smiled and stepped forward respectfully and said, "The old lady is healthy, the junior has given you a salute." ”
The upper body that was bending down was stopped by the old lady with both hands and said: "Don't be polite, you are tired all the way, let the children sit down and rest quickly." ”
Mrs. An introduced An Xin and An Hui to the old lady and said, "This is the eldest girl, Sister Xin, and the second girl, Sister Hui, specially let the old lady see them." ”
The two girls came forward to say hello, and the old lady pulled left and right in front of her to take a good look, called a few hellos, and asked the maid to bring up the meeting gift that had been prepared long ago. Mrs. An also praised Fu Tianqing and Fu Xinqing next to her, and the room was full of greetings.
A few big maids beside the old lady had already arranged tea and fruit cakes in the living room next to them, and the group moved to the next room.
This room is different from the main hall, pick up the bead curtain, as soon as you enter, you can see the big wooden kang placed under the right window, there is a square kang table on it, opposite is the matching rose chair and coffee table, Mrs. An is secretly surprised, such furnishings are very exquisite, and once again feel that the scholarly family is different.
Mrs. Fu and Mrs. An sat on the cushioned wooden kang under the large window lattice, and Mrs. Fu sat on the rose chair.
In the middle of the room there is a multi-treasure pavilion, the partition is left and right, there is a beauty couch under the window on the left, and there is a small bookshelf next to it, and because it is a girl today, it is specially placed on the piano case and a slightly larger painting case, on which there is a guqin and a few painting circles. A few juniors sat on the beauty couch placed here.
